The newest tractor on this farm is a 96. That thing is way too advanced as it is. I don't see me ever buying a brand new machine. I used to say that someday I would as a present to myself. I would rather buy another low hour 4440 as a present to myself. The A/C is fantastic, it has lots of good power, and I can repair it if something goes wrong. And if I want to shut it off? Pull that cable that's attached to the valve in the pump. That's high tech enough to do field work around here.
Now, the 7800 and 4440 have quite an array of monitors for implements in them. I think to be competitive and make money you have to be far more precise and use the tools that will do that. That means a tractor from the late 70's has GPS, sprayer controllers, seed monitors, etc. I won't ever need autosteer. I feel like enough of a dope watching the GPS monitor to farm a field. The combine is a 93. I don't need any more monitors than it has. As long as it keeps ticking it has a spot in the shed. I have a lot more years in the business. Every year that passes means I have less time for things I can't problem solve in the field. If I blow a water pump I know how to change one. If a sensor puts a machine into limp mode I would be dead in the water. And taking on water.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
